four years ago could michelle obama ha pulledff n' fire? >> i have a little bit of a soft spot for political wives. it's hard to watch someone white use who you're in love with be in a struggle that is a r t and i even like the fact that a political wife in this case is speaking her mind rather than being fully managed by the campaign atll times. think many of us are frustrated by how political wives sometimes get completely managed in atdo think michelle obama could have gotten away with these kinds of expressions of anger and irritation about how her husband was treated? no, i don't thinkso. i think we see clearly when michelle obama, before she was the first ,xp e just her pride about it, that she was very much taken to task that and she was also considered maybe a liability going forward. doesn't certainlyave the popularity factor that she has now back then. and the first lady, though, one is championed for school nutrition as part of her "let's move" campaign. they put out this parody called we are hungry. and ey'vle h new eva perron.

. >> how about michelle obama? a lot of people were raving about what she had to say. the mayor from san antonio was pretty impressive as well >> the first thing you should know is that the order of the speeches was very important and worked very well. in tampa we saw chris christie give the keynote speech after ann romney speech. last night we saw the castro's speech before michele obama and it seemed to work much better. is a crude calculation of popularity but michele obama speech garnered 28,000 twitter hits per minute which doubled mitt romney acceptance speech which only got to 14,000 per minute. people were very excited and commenting on her awesome upper arms, her hair and her eyelashes. people are calling for a debate with ann romney. the wife gets to take over. this has been enormous for the people here at the convention. >> what is up for this evening? >> bill clinton is speaking tonight and people are very excited if for no other reason than that the obama in administration has not seen his speech. if anything interesting happens tonight it will probably be
